Find Your “Why” in the Next 4 Months — It’ll Be the Best Thing You Do In 2024
Here’s how
After my break up, I struggled with the whole “purpose in life” thing. Moving to New York had been that thing for so long.
But after splitting up with my ex, I’ve been flailing around for the last nine months.
That was until something happened this week.
It started with a call from my Mum.
“Yeah, we’ve got some bad news I’m afraid. Rich has been diagnosed with lung cancer.”
Fuck.
It felt like deja vu. My Mum had ovarian cancer 12 months ago and went through intense surgery. Now, her partner of 20 years is about to go through something similar.
We hugged it out on the call.
After taking a few days to process the whole thing, I realised on a selfish level this could be the wake-up call I needed.
And Rich’s diagnosis may have given me a new purpose.
Money, money, money
One of the things I’ve struggled with since my breakup is giving myself a reason to work hard.
My thinking for so long had been this: New York is expensive → I need to make more money to live…
